Is Punisher [Hologram] #H-3 worth grading?

Marvel · Marvel 1991 Universe · full price guide →

Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw

A Grade 9.5 Punisher [Hologram] #H-3 sells for $94.67 against $7.89 raw: a $86.78 spread, 12× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($84.75) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
